Goodzilla.

It's really late so I'm just going to show you some of the stuff for sale at the two cinemas I've attended. I shall show you my purchases later so this is the stuff I could have bought but haven't yet done so. First up, the loot from Toho Cinema.

This little gadget can be mounted on your dashboard and looks pretty cool. Until you see it in action...

Some Godzilla wafer cookies* and some "tool boxes" although I don't think there are any tools within.
*More about the cookies later.

A Hazard sign that you can buy, though why is beyond me. There's also a black one.

Snow globes. These could be new but I suspect they're a reissue.

A few little key-chain doodads.

NO idea what these are for.

Mini snow globes.

Now onto the goods at Aeon Mall in Natori. Below is a pencil case, some masking tapes, a key-chain, a medal, and some Hand Spinners.

Some really nice magnets but at 780 each, a little steep.

Pens with a figure on top.

A coaster, some key-chain accessories and a neck strap.

A big tote bag and a plastic cover for placing under the page in a book for easy writing. We don't really have a word for this in English, perhaps under-board.

The two figures I showed off yesterday and an acrylic calendar.

A hand spinner. If these held just a smidgen of interest for me, I'd get one.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see the movie tomorrow and that may inspire me to buy more loot.

Long Live the King!

I've been strangely silent of late, mainly due to an uncertainty over my next month's employment. Nothing etched in stone yet, but it seems that I'll be back at the same gig again next month. Woohoo!

To celebrate I picked up a Snow Globe for the first day of Spring, King Ghiddorah.
(This is the first snow globe I've ever owned, it is hefty enough to make the proverbial blunt object if ever needed.)

  

Before the snow storm.

  

The storm is in full flurry.

  

The storm is settling down.

This is the package in which it comes. I'm torn between traditional white snow and the golden flakes falling on the King. There is also one for Godzilla and for Mecha-Godzilla but I don't know the colour of their snowstorms and I don't have an extra fifteen bucks to spend in order to find out.

On St. Patrick's Day, I managed to land three different Ultraman beanies. Here is one enjoying a Guinness!

I'm fairly certain these are released in conjunction with the new Ultraman Movie,
ウルトラマンオーブ　絆の力、おかりします! or "Ultraman Orb the Movie: I'm Borrowing the Power of Your Bonds!"



If it's showing at a convenient time on a cheap movie day, I may go see it.

Snowy Flowers.

I had to drive to Yamagata for a wedding and though the drive wasn't too bad, it was worrisome going through the mountains. Obviously I arrived home safely.

The wedding took place in the Bunsho-Kan and there just happened to be a Charity Ikebana show going on.

This piece was my favourite because it reminds me of the tripods from War of the Worlds.

Here are several samples of other pieces. I wonder where they got all the fresh flowers, greenhouses?

There was also a mini-museum within showcasing a few cultural icons. I love the dragon!

Finally, here are a few snowy pictures.

Best piece of the show Santa and a pair of reindeer!

Tomorrow I hope to post something silly. This one was almost serious...
